A Rangeland Grasshopper Insurance Program
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1995 The incidence of benefits and costs from controlling rangeland grasshoppers on public grazing lands poses problems of economic efficiency and distributional equity. Public grasshopper control programs operate like public disaster assistance.

Local Thermal Extremes Shape the Nature of Herbivore Plasticity That Controls Plant Communities. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe discovered a spatial mosaic of two unique integrations of grasshopper plasticity (behavioural, physiological) that corresponded to mean diel maximum temperatures. Cool and Warm site grasshoppers both altered their canopy height and metabolism in response to experimental warming, but in opposite ways depending on spider predation risk.
